But in an interesting twist, in the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, the ex-talk show host doesn’t fawn over the supercar stats of the 918, instead wanting to know how it drives on regular roads and if drivers can use the 918 “as an everyday car.” I’m fairly certain a US$845,000, 887-horsepower exotic supercar can hardly, under any circumstances, be classified as “an everyday car,” but I digress.

In this episode, Leno speaks with Daniel Eastman, the 918 client relationship manager for Porsche Cars North America (now, that’s an impressive job title), about what makes the 918 so special and what went into the car’s development. Leno says that the 918’s craftsmanship and build quality is top-notch, that the performance is astounding and that the exhaust note is “incredible.” He also adds that the high-tech supercar feels like a regular 911 in terms of how easy it is to drive. “It’s the race car you can drive every day.”

Driving also got a rare chance to drive the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder. Check out our review here after you watch the video below:
